Computer Graphics: Color-Based Time
Edward Zajec · Leonardo · 1986
The author describes a technique for the orchestration of color on a video screen by thematically controlling large numbers of luminous dots. The work is concerned more with how the colors radiate in a system of changing relationships than with the motions of objects in space. A series of four colors, perceived as a linear entity, is first translated into a set of rectangular modules and then dynamically articulated in time and space. Techniques of computer graphics and such related issues as perception in music and a new concept of dimensionality are discussed with the objective of outlining some new modes of picturing visual ideas.
